The Truth About Kat and Dogs (2019)

Sarah Jeffery: Maggie Vera

Quotes 

• Maggie Vera : No red dots anywhere.

  Harry Greenwood : While you were in Clay City, I went and checked on the last two. One in Jacksonville, the other in Provo. Witches in trouble, yes, but no Macy.

  Maggie Vera : What was that demon even doing with her in a barrel?

  Harry Greenwood : Marinating her, most likely. A small sect of Malignants have gone... well, a tad cannibalistic. Once they get a taste for witches, their appetite is insatiable. Good news is you saved that woman before she became lunch.

  Maggie Vera : Yeah, and the bad news is no Macy anywhere.

  Mel Vera : How is this possible? Could the Darklighter have cloaked her?

  Maggie Vera : Or worse?

  Mel Vera : Don't go there, Mags.

  Abigael Jameson-Caine : Perhaps it's time you do. "Dead" is the word you're so assiduously avoiding.

  Mel Vera : Macy is not dead.

  Abigael Jameson-Caine : Are you sure of that? The other Harry has had for, what, 36 hours? That's plenty of time to...

  Maggie Vera : I swear, if you don't stop talking now, we will...

  [drawing her finger across her throat] 

  Maggie Vera : ...you.

• Mel Vera : I'm telling you, we need to try Absum Veri, which I'm pretty sure I still remember.

  Maggie Vera : Absum Veri? What is that?

  Harry Greenwood : A tracking spell. Very powerful and also banned. How do you even know about it?

  Mel Vera : Well, I spent some time studying the list in the back of the Book of Shadows.

  Harry Greenwood : Those spells are banned for a reason. The last witch to try Absum Veri was found not alive.

• Harry Greenwood : I'll scour the Book of Elders for information about the Darklighter, any clues as to where he might have taken Macy.

  Mel Vera : And we'll take our chances on Absum Veri.

  Harry Greenwood : Mel.

  Mel Vera : Macy is missing, Harry. Banned or not, this is our best shot.

  Maggie Vera : Sorry, Harry. I agree with Mel on this one.

• Maggie Vera : [after a brief conversation with Katrina]  Okay, what was that? I thought you said she didn't remember anything from the astral plane.

  Mel Vera : She wasn't supposed to.

  Maggie Vera : Well, what happened there?

  Mel Vera : Can we please just stick on task here?

• Mel Vera : If this goes wrong...

  Maggie Vera : It's not going wrong. We got this.

  Mel Vera , Maggie Vera : Ancient spirits, Macy Vaughn, our dear eldest sister has up and gone. We must retrieve her, heed our call. Track down our sister before night's fall. Qui abest reperietur.

  Maggie Vera : [after a few moments]  Nothing's happening.

  [seeing a vision of a growling black dog] 

  Maggie Vera : Okay, so this is why we don't try banned spells.

• Maggie Vera : Perky Peanut? Half-sister demon's really starting to piss me off.

  Mel Vera : Still looking for a "shut your piehole" potion for her.

• Mel Vera : Absum Veri requires us to say an incantation over three items belonging to the missing person. We need something that Macy dreads, something she denies herself, and something she desires. The dread should be specific to her and current.

  Maggie Vera : [spotting a bottle of tequila]  She dreads being out of control.

  Mel Vera : Do it.

  Maggie Vera : [grabbing the bottle]  Okay. Now what she denies herself.

  Mel Vera : Dairy? Remember the almond milk incident?

  Maggie Vera : Oh, yeah. She went ballistic when we ran out.

  [Mel grabs a quart of milk from the fridge] 

  Maggie Vera : Okay. Now what she desires. It's obvious. Family.

  Mel Vera : Career.

  [seeing Maggie's look of bewilderment] 

  Mel Vera : She wanted that job at the Bioethical Research Lab in Ann Arbor.

  Maggie Vera : No. I mean, yes, her ambition, but Macy's deepest desire was growing up with her mother.

  Mel Vera : She accepted that.

  Maggie Vera : People don't just accept loss overnight, Mel. Look, I'm sorry to pull rank here, but I'm the empath, and if anyone understands emotion, it's me.

• Malignant Demon : Damn witches blinded me.

  Mel Vera : We have an antidote. Tell us where Macy is, and we'll give it to you.

  Maggie Vera : We just want our sister back.

  [dropping her knife as the demon grabs her by the throat] 

  Maggie Vera : There has to be... some kind of deal... we can make.

  Malignant Demon : What kind of deal?

  Maggie Vera : [as Mel stabs him, they watch him crumble to dust]  Mel, no! What did... what... what did... what did you do that for? He was our last lead to Macy.

  Mel Vera : I saved your life.

• Abigael Jameson-Caine : Hey, Guantanamo guards. You can't keep me in this containment spell forever. Even demons have rights, and I have things I need to do.

  Maggie Vera : What kind of things?

  Abigael Jameson-Caine : I'm not sure your imagination could handle them, Perky Peanut.

  Maggie Vera : What did you call me?

  Abigael Jameson-Caine : Perky Peanut. Pretty Pony. Priming, Prancing Princess. I can see why my loser brother was so taken with you.

  Maggie Vera : Parker is not a loser. He's decent and kind.

  Abigael Jameson-Caine : Exactly. He walked away from ruling the Primordials. He was too weak.

  Mel Vera : Ignore her, Mags.

  Abigael Jameson-Caine : Ooh. Angry Spice has spoken.

  Harry Greenwood : Enough. We need to focus. We're running out of time.

• Maggie Vera : You think she dealt with mom, but you're wrong about that part.

  Mel Vera : Or you're wrong about Macy. I should have trusted my instincts. Macy and I are in a different place in our life.

  Maggie Vera : What is that supposed to mean?

  Mel Vera : Meaning your obsession with guys has always trumped any career ambition.

  Maggie Vera : Oh, that's rich, coming from the Haunt's former Bartender of the Month. And Parker's not just some guy.

  Mel Vera : Yeah, he was a demon guy who tried to steal your powers.

  Maggie Vera : He said he was sorry. Stop being so judgy.

• Maggie Vera : Where's our sister?

  Malignant Demon : Don't know what you're talking about.

  Mel Vera : We know you've got a witch here.

  Maggie Vera : Are you working for him? The Darklighter? Just give her up, and there won't be any trouble.

  Malignant Demon : Want to ask me a question?

  [showing his clawed hand] 

  Malignant Demon : Come a little closer.

  Mel Vera : We'll stay right here.

• Mel Vera : Harry, we did it. We got the coordinates for the tracking spell.

  Maggie Vera : New York City. Lower Manhattan. Tribeca.

  Mel Vera : But there are no red lights anywhere near there.

  Maggie Vera : Doesn't make any sense. If she's in danger, why isn't it showing up?

  Harry Greenwood : Because she's not. In danger. At least not yet.

  Maggie Vera : How do you know that?

  Harry Greenwood : Because... he has feelings for her.

  Mel Vera : How do you know that?

  Harry Greenwood : Because... so do I. For better or worse... he and I are the same person.

• Maggie Vera : Wouldn't this be the worst way to die, after everything? Being a dog snack for a demon hound.

  Mel Vera : I'm sorry, Mags. I wasn't right about this spell, either.

  Maggie Vera : Well, it's good to know we're both wrong sometimes.

  Mel Vera : You weren't wrong about everything. I kissed Kat. I mean, not really kissed. It happened when we went to the astral plane, so it was sort of like a dream. The real Kat has no idea if even happened.

  Maggie Vera : Well, that's okay. You didn't break the rules in the real world.

  Mel Vera : But I wanted to.

  Maggie Vera : And I look at Parker's Insta every day. We all have secret desires.

  [something in her mind clicks] 

  Maggie Vera : Secret desires. We can get into Macy's head. Her journal.

  Mel Vera : In her nightstand.

  Maggie Vera : In her room.

  Mel Vera : [having not heard the dog in a while]  Could he be asleep?

  Maggie Vera : Dogs do love to nap.

• Mel Vera : [opening Macy's journal]  Why is Macy drawing Harry?

  Maggie Vera : And keeping it in here?

  Mel Vera : [connecting the dots]  Secret desires.

  Maggie Vera : What... what if... what if he's all of them? Dreads, denies, desires; not three things, but one.

  Mel Vera : Harry?

• Mel Vera : Her journal is not here. We've turned the place upside down.

  Maggie Vera : [hearing the demon dog growling]  You wouldn't be so cranky if you'd taken your nap!

  Mel Vera : [her phone rings]  It's Kat again.

  Maggie Vera : [the wall shakes under the dog's attacks]  Well, that's a design flaw.

  Mel Vera : [her phone chimes with an incoming text]  "Marisol wants you to know what you're looking for is between the sheets."

  Maggie Vera : Marisol? How does she know about mom?

  Mel Vera : She doesn't.

  Maggie Vera : [taking the sheets off Macy's bed]  Well, she was wrong.

  Mel Vera : Or...

  [opening a footlocker at the bed's foot] 

  Mel Vera : Her journal. It's here.

  Maggie Vera : How did Kat...?

  Mel Vera : I don't know. But she did.

• Mel Vera : [hiding from the demon dog]  Are you okay?

  Maggie Vera : Yeah. Yeah.

  Mel Vera : Did you see its teeth?

  Maggie Vera : I was too freaked out by its eyes.

  Mel Vera : Every time we get it wrong, that demon dog gets more dangerous.

  Maggie Vera : Every time we get it wrong, it's another minute that Macy's missing.

  Mel Vera : We just need to get it right next time.

  Maggie Vera : If only we could get into Macy's head.

  Mel Vera : If only.
